Abstract

An emergency response system has a radio transmitter activated by dialing one or more programmable sequences of emergency digits dialed on the telephone, which transmits an encoded radio signal to a flashing strobe beacon visible to an emergency response team to assist in locating the emergency. The flashing strobe beacon is responsive only to the encoded signal, is easily relocated and requires no hard wired connection.
